If you try to manage remotely your Linksys WAG200G adsl modem and router then you have to notice the following things:

Enable remote management from the administration of your linksys router (it's located by default at http://192.168.1.1 and username and password is admin)

Check if your ISP (internet service provider) is blocking any ports.

Go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and see if port 8080 is open. (Change the port for more security)

If the port is open then you can visit your router with the following link https://your ip here:port

Firefox or Internet Explorer will not load the administration until you grand access of the certificate. Trust the certificate and Voila! A popup dialog will ask you for username and password.

Change username and password for security reasons.

That's it!!

Also from Applications&Gaming page you can forward any ports you want. For example web server, ftp server, remote desktop etc.

Hope it helped!

Broadband - Switching To VOIP
By David Collins

The process seems simple enough; check your connection (and perform a broadband speed test) then download and install one of the many VoIP clients out there.

What Is Structured Cabling For Computer LAN Networks?

By Colin Yao

:: What is structured cabling?

Modern computer LAN (local area network) wiring has the concept of structured cabling.

With today's high speed networks, people realize that the networking system must be broken up into shorter chunks that allow workstation wiring to be concentrated, with each cable length short enough to support the high data rate.

Based on aforementioned reasons, structured wiring standard has been developed to help define a computer wiring system that stays within the maximum wiring distance for various LAN topologies. For example, the horizontal cable wiring length is 100 meters for 100BaseT networks.

By Tony C. Gevano

What if you found that your computer is out of date? You probably want to upgrade your computer since you have no choice to do so. Your works depend on your hardware computer upgrade. That’s how you going to have a good result.

But before you make any further step, try to learn about your computer. Search all options and ask for advice. Only after this you can go and buy a new component. It’s also useful to check if you really need an upgrade.

If you need to add some sound to your videos and you are using Linux, there is a very easy way to add it.
You can for example add your favourite song into your video, or even record your voice and put it in your video.

mencoder source.avi -o destination.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -audiofile /path_to_the_mp3_file/file.mp3

By telling mencoder not to compress the source video nor the audio the hole procedure will take a few seconds.

Enjoy it !!!

Beeing a fan of Apple's Macintosh computers, I had a conversation with a very good friend. Why is a Mac better than a Pc in multimedia, video/audio proccessing, graphic design, 3D animations etc ?

My friend provided the answer.

"Pc's and Mac's are the same" he clamed.

"You can use photoshop here and photoshop there, there is no difference at all"

You are right I said, Photoshop is the same. But think also of the other capabilities and featurees a Mac has.

Without any thoughts my friend answered "Well on my pc I can get the best software for image, video, audio proccessing I need. Why should I buy a Mac?"

 So without having any strong argument I answered him with an example.
